CERBA Russia and CIS Mining Conference 2011
140 attendees, 3 compelling discussion sessions, 22 leading expert speakers and moderators, access to PDAC venues - a profile of a mining event not to be missed...
For more than 10 years CERBA has been organizing an annual mining conference dedicated to Russia and Central Asia. The conference is a joint effort of CERBA, Canadian Government agencies (DFAIT, NRCan, DIAND, the Ontario Government) and CERBA private sector sponsoring members.
Traditionally, CERBA’s annual Russia and CIS mining conference has been held at the Intercontinental Hotel, adjacent to the PDAC annual international mining exhibition venue. However, starting last year, the CERBA Mining Conference became part of PDAC’s official program. The result was both a higher profile event and broader business exposure for CERBA members and all other participants.
CERBA's 2011 annual mining conference offered a full-day program dedicated to delivering the views from the leading government and industry representatives on opportunities in Russia and the CIS in mining and metallurgy sectors including regional mining opportunities in Russia (Krasnoyarskiy Krai, Altai, etc.), as well as Central Asian mining opportunities for Canadian companies.
Participants included officials from Russian and Canadian government, representatives of leading Canadian, Russian and Kazakh mining companies such as Kinross Gold Corporation, Stans energy Corp, Centerra Gold Inc, Alrosa, Gulidov Refinery of Krasnoyarsk, Atomredmetzoloto, Altynalmas Gold, Tau-Ken Samruk, and interested members of the public. The keynote speaker of the program was Sergey Efimovitch Donskoy, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation. So successful was the outcome that the next day the Globe and Mail published an article entitled: “For Patient Investors Russia Offers Rich Rewards”.
One of the important issues in Russian mining, the junior mining sector, was discussed; the session was moderated by Boris Aryev of Stans Energy Corp. with the main presentation by Denis Khramov of the Department of State Policy in the Field of Subsoil Usage and Nature Management, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation.
CERBA with support of Stans Energy Corp. also organized an excellent post-conference reception. It was the perfect end to the conference; a warm environment with an excellent opportunity to network in an informal setting. As an added bonus to attendees, there was a draw for several prizes!
On behalf of CERBA, we would like to thank the organizing committee (Boris Aryev, Stans Energy Corp., Lou Naumovski, Kinross Gold Corp., Steven Basadur and Liliya Panova, Embassy of Canada in Moscow, John Place, Export Development Canada), sponsors, supporters, speakers and attendees and we are looking forward to seeing you in March 2012 to continue the discussion of mining industry developments and emerging market opportunities.
